On Court B, we’re watching Quebec play the CDN Newbies. Zak Maddell’s defensive play is certainly frustrating for Ontario, knocking two passes out of bounds in the first five minutes of the game. Maddell’s chewing up a lot of minutes and is playing end to end, so endurance might factor into the final half. Quebec is up 27-26 at the break.
At Court A, Ontario is beating BC 26-20 at the half. After a shaky first half yesterday against the BC Newbies, Ontario has looked fast on the court today, stifling BC’s offense.
A big thanks to Chair Stuff for supplying lunches for players and volunteers today. Their support of wheelchair sports is not unnoticed.
UPDATE!
Court B saw Quebec run away with the third quarter. This happened against the Newbies yesterday too also, with their shorter bench. Awesome play again from Fabien Lavoie and Cory Harrower. Final score is 53-4 for Quebec.
On Court A, we saw Ontario really spread their lead by playing long outlet passes against BC’s high pressure defence. It’s been great to watch Ontario run their full bench through the game, often swapping out veterans David Willsie and Garrett Hickling for some of tomorrow’s wheelchair rugby stars. Final score is 51-34, Ontario takes it.
